KORG minilogue MIDI test : playing with MIDI keyboard (KROME88)


Published on Jan 31, 2016 karenevil

"After the initial test drive I placed my minilogue just above the KROME 88 and patched to my system including MIDI IN and OUT.
In this video I'm playing minilogue from KROME.
Also trying to MIDI clock sync then both KROME's drum and minilogue's sequencer are synced perfectly."

Buchla Music Easel - First Rough Test


Published on Jan 31, 2016 Genshi Media Group

"First off, this isn't mine; a trusting friend let me borrow it for a few days. Second, out of all the synths I've ever played - from an ARP2600, to a Fairlight CMI IIx, to Eurorack Modulars - this Buchla Music Easel is the most confusing thing I've ever tried to get a sound out of! Really baffling the way it works! This is my first 10 minutes with it, and I almost wasn't going to upload the video, but since I only have it for a few days, I wanted to document my first encounter with it. Hopefully in the next day or two I will have a better demo before I have to give it back..."

ROLAND PROMARS Analog Synthesizer 1978 | HD DEMO


Published on Jan 31, 2016 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2016 by AnalogAudio1

Demo of the original Roland Promars. Its excellent sound qualities can not be really simulated by software. The original hardware Promars is soundwise not comparable with the new "plugout" software.

I played the Roland Promars with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX-500 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000.

The Roland Promars is a programmable monophonic analog synth. Basically it's a monophonic version of the Roland Jupiter-4. But on the Promars, you have 2 VCO's per voice, not 1 VCO like on the Jupiter. VCO 2 is always identical to VCO 1 except tuning (same volume, same suboscillator, same waveform).

2 VCOs, 2 suboscillators, 24 dB lowpass filter, non resonant highpass filter, 2 envelopes, noise generator, extremely fast LFO with many waveforms, 8 memory locations to store own sounds and a powerful classic Roland sound makes the Promars a great synthesizer."

Modular Jam 43: "I'm Listening To Reason"


Published on Jan 31, 2016 ngarjuna

"Bassline was constructed using Medic Cranial Saw and Rubicon into the Minimod voice (VCF-EGs-VCA) sequenced by Audio Damage Sequencer 1

West Coast generative sequence was produced using Sequencer 1 to modulate Wogglebug's clock and Woggle's stepped out to modulate Rene's pattern. The voice involved one channel of the Optomix receiving shape modulated STO and the other receiving through zero FM signals from the Rubicon folded through the Nonlinear Circuits Timbre, both enveloped by Make Noise Maths.

The pitch-less howling voice is a cross mod between the two Sputniks through the Timbre and the Optomix (again, Maths). The random gate out on Wogglebug is used to piss off the 4ms PEG's action toggle which is feeding CV to the additional CV in on one of the swarming beehives...erm Sputniks

Drums in Arturia Spark (electronic) and Jamstix (percussion)"

Restless



"This cheerful little tune was done entirely with sounds only from Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 synthesizers. The original sketch for this song had more of a chip-tune / arcade game theme style, but it turned into kind of an electronic pop / trance track in the end.

I am selling one of my Shruthis (with a 4 Pole Mission filter board), so I wanted to record one song that showcases this fun little synth before I give it away. There is one pad sound, for which I sampled the notes from a Shruthi with a SSM2044 filter board. All other sounds, including drums and FX, are from the 4 Pole Mission Shruthi.

Multitracked on a BOSS BR-600 without MIDI, then mixed with Tracktion 6 DAW on Linux. The drum sounds and a pad where sampled from the Shruthi and then sequenced in the DAW.

Effects used: Delay and Chorus from the BR-6000, Calf Vintage Delay, zita-reverb, ZamComp, Tracktion Chorus and EQ.

Crumar Stratus 6 Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer SN 00042

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Stratus is a 6-note polyphonic analog that uses the highly popular CEM chips that have also been used in other popular synths of the time including Jupiters, OB-X synths, Prophets—even modern Dave Smith Instruments. The Stratus has a total of two oscillators (DCOs), and they’re fed through divide-down ICs, just like an organ or string machine. The oscillators offer saw and square waveforms, or a mix of the two, and a mono/unison mode. The two oscillators can be tuned separately and synced. A unique option is the "Alternate Saw/Sq" mode which alternates the voices between square and sawtooth waveforms—play a chord and some voices will be square, others will be saw, or bang out a solo and each note will be a different waveform—definitely unique but maybe not always practical."

"My friend brought his Pro-2 over. We decided to have some fun. We use the Pro-2's OSC's and sequencer. The Pro-2 is also controlling the modular synthesizers envelopes and Q960 sequencer. We filter the Pro-2 thru the modular. The modular synth also makes the kick drum as well as trigger the Korg MS20 which is making the snare drum"

Futurama: Moogfest vs Simpsons: Hapsichordfest



This one spotted by creekreee who had the following to say:

"The Futurama Facebook page posted a short video called 'Happy backwards day'. This is essentially the intro to each show, with a special intro music that was used on only one episode.

The video is horizontally mirrored, thus the caption, which is unique for each episode, is not as easily readable.

I took a screenshot and mirrored it again - and guess what?

The caption says

Futurama: Moogfest
as
Simpsons: Hapsichordfest"


I found that interesting and thought I´d share it with you. (I guess there is a typo in there.. 'as' should probably read 'vs')"

"The Creamware Prodyssey ASB is a highly accurate digital re-creation of the ARP Odyssey. It not only re-creates the sound of the the original Odyssey, but recreates the control panel too. Playing and programming this synth really feels like using an analog synthesiser, but with added benefits such as 12-note polyphony and MIDI control.

Probably one of the best and most sought-after vitual analog synths ever made."

Chamber Pressure - Gayane Adagio - Khachaturian


Published on Jan 31, 2016

"Aram Khachaturian's beautiful 'Adagio' from Gayane's Ballet.

Mostly famous from it's use in Kubrick's '2001-A Space Odyssey' in the voyage to Jupiter sequence.

The large format 5U modular synthesizer is played live with a midi file from Cubase.

Three voices are sequenced by a MOTM 650 and Synthesizers.com Q104. Each voice consists of a full resonant filter with other vco's stacked and blended behind the filter sine waves. The lower third voice is a MosLab 901 suite with Oakley Discontinuity and Q106 through a MosLab 904 Moog ladder. The upper two voices are Q106's through a Suit&Tie Guy Post-Lawsuit Low Pass and an Oakley SVF in low pass.

The atmospheric noise behind the voices is a patch mixture of pink noise and ring-modulated pitches from the lower voice. The pitch tuning is purposefully skewed off-pitch to rise and fall between the two ring modulated vco's (SSL 1200 & 1130 DDVCO). They are sent through a MOTM 440 VCF which is also highly resonant with pitched FM. Then on to the Encore frequency shifter which is again pitch shifted via the note data from the lower voice sequence pattern. The finish of the patch is a two channel separation of the Up and Down outputs of the Encore FS into a Modcan 73B dual delay.

A final addition of Valhalla Shimmer is applied to the atmospheric patch in Cubase. Other delays to the main voices are two Lexicon dual reverb/delays and a TCElectronics D-Two.

All recorded in one pass at once. Thanks for listening and reading along."

Stepped output from Ultra Random to pattern input of VE.
Modcan Touch pitches Mutable Rings, strum input on Rings from Randomised trigger output on DC-1 (density populated by SSF random output). Extra triggers provided by DC-1. Tiny Hats sequenced by cv’d QCD output.

Sounds:

Custom Percussion created on Nord Drum 2. Rings as Lead/Bass.Pad created by mutable braids (swarm model) through Addac 601 and filtered. Bands cv’d by Modcan Quad LFO. Noise Risers by SSF Quantum rainbow (white noise) and processed by Modcan dual delay. Hi pitched drone made from frozen chord in Mutable clouds. Pitched sounds made from Make Noise phonogene modulated by SSF URA with a very high grain rate and shifted by QCD. Tiny hats SSF QR (purple noise) through Intelligel HexVCA. Simple melody from ALM Akemie’s Castle with two mixed sine waves mixed and phased to give slight chorus effect. Multiplier cv’d by SSF URA stepped output to create random pitches. Stabs made from custom samples created for Music Thing Radio module, randomly cv’d and triggered by Make noise LXD. Output then fed to Qu-bit RT-60. This is randomly sequenced with triggers and delay is added by Modcan Dual Delay.

Mixing:

8 channels output to Soundcraft Mixer (one channel on mixer used live to fade). Eventide Space on Send. Mixed panned, fed through Logic to record, PSP vintage warmer strapped to master bus to glue things together.

Equipment:

All Eurorack modules except Nord Drum 2 and Eventide space :)"

Evaton Technologies Synth DIY class @ West Liberty University


Russ Hoffman, of Evaton Technologies, recently gave a Synth DIY workshop at West Liberty University. Students learned how oscillators and filters work, while constructing a reduced version of the Evaton Technologies SDIY MDRONE kit. (The kits were reduced to a single oscillator, to accommodate the constraints of building the kits in the allotted time.)

The workshop was held in conjunction with Professor of Music, Dr. Matthew Harder's Electronic Music Ensemble, at West Liberty University.

The students will be performing with their new drone synths in an electronic music ensemble concert at the university in April.

You'll find photos here.

Endangered Audio Research AD4096 + Funkbox TR-606 Drum Machine


Published on Jan 30, 2016 Bimini Road

"This is a demo of the now legendary, long-out-of-circulation Endangered Audio Research AD4096 Analog Delay, with the Funk Box TR-606 running through it. Very few videos show what the AD4096's Infinity Mode is useful for, which is crazy to me, because I feel like that's the best, most unique part of this pedal. Infinity Mode can be tuned to creep on the edge of self-oscillation in a really organic way. New signal pushes old signal out - and in that way it's almost like a looper, or even a tape bleed emulator.

Although a guitar pedal, mixing artists contact us all the time to tell us how they use the AD4096 on drum busses - especially for dub music! I think the AD4096 is killer on drums. You can get a really loose spring-reverb-like tone from short delays.

The Momentary Expand switch shorts the Depth pot and sends it into self-oscillation - the faster the clock speed (the Time knob turned to the right - "backwards" of how most pedals work), the faster it will run wildly into speaker-blasting range. However, with Infinity Mode engaged, you don't get the ever-louder-and-louder signal - it's "limited" because the new incoming signal pushes out the old. Also, if the Depth is turned all the way down, it becomes a momentary off switch.

The Delay line is a more traditional dark, fat analog delay sound, whereas the Echo line has a elevated, rarefied glittery tone. It's almost like an LPF and an HPF line. It also arrives just barely later than the Delay line. It overdrives beautifully, and thanks to its FET transistors, it has an almost tube-like breakup. The combination of these characteristics, along with the totally unique Infinity Mode, makes this the most tonally flexible and musically useful analog delay pedal ever made.

We get almost daily emails about these pedals at Endangered Audio Research. This unit is going to be donated to Oberlin College's TIMARA program when I'm done making demo videos for it, so don't bother trying to buy it from me. We are going to add more delay time with an aftermarket mod that will be available to the public, but first, I'm making a bunch of videos with different sound sources to show what the original sounds like.

EAR is also making a new, updated version of this later this year with expanded functionality, but gotta love the original unit - named one of the best 30 guitar effects in the world by Premier Guitar Magazine.

I don't deal in unprocessed, "clean" demos, because I don't believe it shows you more about the effect you're using. Nothing exists in a vacuum, especially music.

NAMM 2016 | Moog Island Of Electronicus


via Moog Music

"The Moog booth at the 2016 Winter NAMM show celebrated the first major Moog 'Happening', The Island Of Electronicus.

Conceived and organized in the early 70's by Moog marketing guru, David Van Koevering (pictured above), The Island of Electronicus was presented as a mind-expanding series of immersive electronic events held on an island off the coast of Florida. Inspired by Van Koevering's event, the Moog Island of Electronicus encouraged visitors to 'come together in an immense creative explosion of thought & feeling.'

Special thanks to Carlos and the crew at The Echo Park Cactus Store for adorning our island with a sublime collection of entrancing desert plants, and to illustrator Kyle Platts for his ingenious Mother-32 inspired drawings.
